If you’re a fan of bold and complex reds, our 2016 vintage Goose Expression blend is one to savour. This wine, crafted with precision and care, beautifully marries the structured elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon with the rich, spicy notes of Shiraz.
The 2016 vintage benefited from ideal growing conditions, allowing the grapes to ripen perfectly. After careful harvesting, the wine underwent a meticulous aging process in French oak barrels, allowing the tannins to soften and integrate. The result is a well-rounded wine with layers of dark fruit flavours, hints of spice, and a smooth, lingering finish.
Right now, this blend is drinking beautifully, showing a wonderful balance between its fruit-forward nature and the complexity gained from aging. It has reached a harmonious stage where the flavours are well integrated, making it a delightful choice for any occasion. However, if you prefer a more mature wine, this vintage has the potential to evolve even further over the next couple of months and even years. The tannins are still robust enough to support additional aging, which could enhance the wine’s depth and complexity even more.
For those who love to explore the evolving character of a wine over time, we suggest purchasing a case of 6 bottles of this 2016 Goose Expression. This allows you to experience the subtle changes that occur as the wine continues to age in the bottle.
Then follow this fun and educational approach: Open one bottle every three months, and take notes on the aroma, flavour, and overall experience each time. You might notice the wine’s tannins softening, the fruit flavours becoming more pronounced or even some new nuances emerging that weren’t there before.
By the time you open the last bottle, you’ll have a detailed record of the wine’s evolution. Comparing your notes will give you a deeper appreciation for how time in the bottle has influenced this remarkable blend. It’s a journey worth taking for any wine enthusiast!
Whether you enjoy it now or decide to lay it down for a bit longer, the 2016 Goose Expression promises a rewarding experience. Cheers!
